Where does Server Admin store its values?

I have been trying to install a new GoDaddy signed certificate on my 10.6.5 server system. It replaces an existing self-signed certificate. Because I have been messing around too much, I have created a situation where I had to reset /etc/certificates and /etc/openldap from the backup via a single-user boot (if I install the replacement certificate, I suddenly cannot reach /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 anymore with WGM and network users cannot get their mail, etc.)

But while the certificates and openldap at the unix level have been restored, Server Admin is unaware of the existing certificates. Hence, server admin stores information about the certs somewhere. My question is: where? Becuase that would enable me to restore Server Admin settings as well and go completely back to the original situation.

Thanks MacTroll,

as I wrote: I know about /etc/certificates (and /etc/openldap). But what I change there does not show up in Server Admin and the article you point me to is interesting, but it does not tell me anything about that. Somehow, I can have 8 different certificates in the 10.6-format in /etc/certificates, but for each domain only one shows up in SA.

For the time being I have given up about a decently signed certificate for my OD domain. GoDaddy is cheap, but hoses my OD access and I have no idea how and I can’t mess with SA if I don’t know how to reset it to a working situation from a backup.
